Tess Daly, 53, in 2003, with the couple having two children together.The former All-Star Family Fortunes host has spoken out defending his wife for the "unbelievable" work she puts into Strictly Come Dancing after judge Craig Revel Horwood once described her as "dull".Vernon revealed in a recent interview the extent of the amount of work that goes on behind-the-scenes on the hit BBC dance show.He said that Tess, alongside fellow host Claudia Winkleman, spent hours learning their lines.The former I'm a Celeb star admitted: "Tess is the best person I have ever worked with."She’s unbelievable.

I don’t think people realise the hard work she puts in."She learns her script, she learns Claudia’s script, she learns the camera’s script, because it’s the flagship show for the BBC", Vernon told The Sun.He continued: "Nothing ever goes wrong on Strictly, since the year it started I think there has been one technical issue because one of the BBC regions had a power cut and Tess had to apologise and explain, apart from a few costume malfunctions that’s it."As far as the production goes I think they do a sterling job."It’s like boarding a plane and trusting that the pilot will guide you across the Atlantic, you know that when you tune into Strictly, Tess and Claudia are going to hold your hand and guide you through proceedings, especially because it’s such a long show."They’re there all day and then when the show finishes they have to do the results."Vernon's support of his wife comes four years after Strictly judge Craig branded the presenter "dull" in 2018.At the time, Tess responded: "He’s just Craig being Craig, he didn’t mean anything malicious by it."Vernon regularly shows his support to his wife on Instagram when she posts her.
